Vintage Skookum Dolls with 'Bully Good' Labels, Circa 1920s-1930s
This pair of vintage Skookum dolls, dating from the 1920s to 1930s, exemplifies the craftsmanship of Mary McAboy's iconic creations. Each doll retains its original "Bully Good" label, a trademark phrase reflecting the Chinook Jargon term "Skookum," meaning strong or excellent.
Constructed from wood, fabric, beads, synthetic hair, and wool, these dolls are adorned in traditional-style blankets and exhibit the charm of mid-20th-century design. The larger doll, measuring 9 inches, carries a papoose, while the smaller doll, at 6.25 inches, complements the set with its detailed attire. Skookum dolls remain sought-after collectibles, valued for their representation of Native American-inspired artistry and history.

Size:
- Larger Doll: 9" H x 3" W x 4" D
